The Tunnel of Change

The Tunnel of Change | Nimavenl

This photo of a wall, some grass and a few trees was taken coming out of a tunnel. It's a tunnel I walk or bike through several times a week, a tunnel that always makes me smile as coming out of it (on either side) provides one with an amazing view of the world. On one side is a very Dutch polderscape - water, a bridge, a mill and a beautiful view of nature. On the other side is city life - a train station, buses and cars, flats and houses and people rushing around living their lives. For me, going through this tunnel signifies change, which is probably why the setting inspired me to write the following words:

It may be dark, you may be going through a tunnel or a valley. Your life may be changing in ways you can't imagine and never thought possible. Whatever you're going through, whatever's happening in your life, whatever changes you're facing - Remember to stop every once in a while, to smile and cherish the journey life is taking you on. Change is natural, it helps us grow, gives us opportunities and allows us to evolve into better and more aware beings.

Change is nothing to be scared of - it is natural and gives us the opportunity to grow and learn. Tomorrow will come, spring will follow winter and sunshine will follow rain. Every cloud has a silver lining and when one door closes, another one opens. Keep on moving forward, always follow your dreams and never ever give up. Life is an adventure meant to be experienced, a journey that doesn't end until you draw your very last breath. The tunnel you're walking through may be dark and the road ahead may be hard to see, however there will be light on the other side and the path you're meant to be on will be lit with purpose, beauty and amazing views to inspire you.
